2. In unicellular organisms, division of one cell reproduces the entire organism Multicellular organisms depend on cell division for: – Development from a fertilized cell – Growth – Repair Cell division is an integral part of the cell cycle, the life of a cell from formation to its own division Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings Most cell division results in daughter cells with identical genetic information, DNA

3. Cellular Organization of the Genetic Material 20 µm All the DNA in a cell constitutes the cell’s genome A genome can consist of a single DNA molecule (common in prokaryotic cells) or a number of DNA molecules (common in eukaryotic cells) DNA molecules in a cell are packaged into chromosomes

4. Every eukaryotic species has a characteristic number of chromosomes in each cell nucleus Somatic cells (nonreproductive cells) have two sets of chromosomes Gametes (reproductive cells: sperm and eggs) have half as many chromosomes as somatic cells Eukaryotic chromosomes consist of chromatin, a complex of DNA and protein that condenses during cell division Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

5. Distribution of Chromosomes During Eukaryotic Cell Division In preparation for cell division, DNA is replicated and the chromosomes condense Each duplicated chromosome has two sister chromatids, which separate during cell division The centromere is the narrow “waist” of the duplicated chromosome, where the two chromatids are most closely attached Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

7. Eukaryotic cell division consists of: – Mitosis, the division of the nucleus – Cytokinesis, the division of the cytoplasm Gametes are produced by a variation of cell division called meiosis Meiosis yields nonidentical daughter cells that have only one set of chromosomes, half as many as the parent cell Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

8. Phases of the Cell Cycle The cell cycle consists of – Mitotic (M) phase (mitosis and cytokinesis) – Interphase (cell growth and copying of chromosomes in preparation for cell division) Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings Interphase (about 90% of the cell cycle) can be divided into subphases: – G 1 phase (“first gap”) – S phase (“synthesis”) – G 2 phase (“second gap”) The cell grows during all three phases, but chromosomes are duplicated only during the S phase

10. Mitosis is conventionally divided into five phases: – Prophase – Prometaphase – Metaphase – Anaphase – Telophase Cytokinesis is well underway by late telophase BioFlix: Mitosis BioFlix: Mitosis Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

17. The Cell Cycle Control System The sequential events of the cell cycle are directed by a distinct cell cycle control system, which is similar to a clock The cell cycle control system is regulated by both internal and external controls The clock has specific checkpoints where the cell cycle stops until a go-ahead signal is received Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

18. Fig. 12-14 S G1G1 M checkpoint G2G2 M Control system G 1 checkpoint G 2 checkpoint

19. For many cells, the G 1 checkpoint seems to be the most important one If a cell receives a go-ahead signal at the G 1 checkpoint, it will usually complete the S, G 2, and M phases and divide If the cell does not receive the go-ahead signal, it will exit the cycle, switching into a nondividing state called the G 0 phase Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

21. The Cell Cycle Clock: Cyclins and Cyclin-Dependent Kinases Two types of regulatory proteins are involved in cell cycle control: cyclins and cyclin- dependent kinases (Cdks) The activity of cyclins and Cdks fluctuates during the cell cycle MPF (maturation-promoting factor) is a cyclin- Cdk complex that triggers a cell’s passage past the G 2 checkpoint into the M phase Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

23. Loss of Cell Cycle Controls in Cancer Cells Cancer cells do not respond normally to the body’s control mechanisms Cancer cells may not need growth factors to grow and divide: – They may make their own growth factor – They may convey a growth factor’s signal without the presence of the growth factor – They may have an abnormal cell cycle control system Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

24. A normal cell is converted to a cancerous cell by a process called transformation Cancer cells form tumors, masses of abnormal cells within otherwise normal tissue If abnormal cells remain at the original site, the lump is called a benign tumor Malignant tumors invade surrounding tissues and can metastasize, exporting cancer cells to other parts of the body, where they may form secondary tumors Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Benjamin Cummings

Cancer cells spread to other parts of the body. Cancer cells may survive and establish a new tumor in another part of the body. 1 2 3 4
